C++ - Determining if directory (not a file) exists in Linux [duplicate]

Answer 1

how about something i found here

#include 

bool DirectoryExists( const char* pzPath )
{
    if ( pzPath == NULL) return false;

    DIR *pDir;
    bool bExists = false;

    pDir = opendir (pzPath);

    if (pDir != NULL)
    {
        bExists = true;    
        (void) closedir (pDir);
    }

    return bExists;
}

Or using stat

struct stat st;
if(stat("/tmp",&st) == 0)
    if(st.st_mode & S_IFDIR != 0)
        printf(" /tmp is present\n");
